Each of my colleagues is golden per se. No matter if he was a success or not, if he was promoted or not, it does not matter.

When I came to Belgium five years ago, not speaking a word of French and having no contacts in the film industry, I did not see how I could possibly continue to work as an actress.

And slowly but surely, opportunities started to come my way, says actress Lydia Indjova in an interview to Europost.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has grown its ranks considerably in recent years, and this season's collection of new members was the largest in AMPAS history.

If I have to sum up my life in a synopsis for a film, I would start from a child who is an awful, even disastrous pupil. He later becomes a young man who quits school and prefers going to cinema theatres and watching films instead. But as he has read a lot, he is open to different challenges, facing life in a free and open manner and consequently getting into all kinds of trouble - in love, politics, social conflicts, film director Benoit Jacquot says in an interview to Europost.
